In informal terms, abductive reasoning involves inferring the best
or most plausible explanation from a given set of facts or data.
This volume presents new ideas about inferential and
information-processing foundations for knowledge and certainty. The
authors argue that knowledge arises from experience by processes of
abductive inference, in contrast to the view that it arises
noninferentially, or that deduction and inductive generalization
are enough to account for knowledge. The book tells the story of
six generations of increasingly sophisticated generic abduction
machines and the discovery of reasoning strategies that make it
computationally feasible to form well-justified composite
explanatory hypotheses, despite the threat of combinatorial
explosion. This book will be of great interest to researchers in
AI, cognitive science, and philosophy of science.
